Justice and Accountability, Obligations, Demanding Accountability, Sisterhood, Jess Michaels, Liz Stein

“Know this: Justice and accountability are not favors from the powerful. They are obligations decades overdue. This moment began with [Jeffrey] Epstein’s crimes, but it’s going to be remembered for survivors demanding justice, demanding truth, demanding accountability, and we will not stop until survivor voices shape justice, transform culture and define the future.” – Jess Michaels, speaking at a September press converence alongside other Epstein survivors, some of whom shared stories of the sexual grooming and assault they suffered as teenagers and called for lawmakers to release more files from the federal investigation.

“We are initiated into a sisterhood. We’re in a sorority that none of us asked to join, but we all stand here today, stronger together, because our collective voice is powerful.” – Liz Stein, another survivor sex-trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, speaking at the same event outside the same event outside the U.S. Capitol, which was, notably, interrupted by a military flyover arranged by the Trump administration, honoring a Polish Pilot who died in a training exercise in Poland.
